Miami, Florida - The husband of Terri Schiavo was honored by a group that advocates guardianship services for his years-long efforts to get his wife's feeding tube disconnected.

Michael Schiavo was given the Guardian of the Year Award by the Florida State Guardianship Association yesterday.

Terri Schiavo lived in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years before dying in March.

She died after a protracted legal battle between her husband and her parents over her end-of-life wishes.

She died from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected.

I'm thinking small island in the Caribbean for my retirement. Far far away from anyone or anything.

And the first person who shows up on my beach without contacing me before hand gets shot and the body dumped in the ocean with the fishies.

Will crap like this ever end? Jane Fonda woman of the year, Schiavo a Guardian....its enough to make me want to drink.

Blood, you can join me. After I had 3 people at work refuse to sign a petition advocating stiffer penalties for people who severly abuse animals, I've already broken open the bottle. And plan to continue until I can't feel the pain of humanity any longer... It's a sick f*cking world.
